Today’s corporate information systems are faced with critical decisions regarding quality throughout the software development life cycle. Markets demand that the cost of software development and testing are reduced while quality remains high.
We combine a blend of best practices, a proven methodology, and a toolset that provides the right blend of technology and practical experience to meet our client’s business objectives.
The basis for our QA Testing Process is:
Requirements Management:
It all starts and ends with early involvement of the Quality Assurance & Testing functions. The planning and requirements definition sets the tone for the alignment, execution and ultimate success of the project.
Risk Based Test Management:
This begins with an understanding that all transactions do not weigh the same. It is a measurement of each transaction and a determination of the impact/risk that each of these transactions have to the corporation.
Unit, Functional and Load Testing:
A derivative of Requirements Management & Risk Based Test Management that uses best in breed automated/integrated testing tools such as Mercury Interactive’s WinRunner and LoadRunner to provide our test groups an integrated suite of functional, performance and regression testing processes and tools.
Test Data Management:
This integrates additional software products to our Test Data Management process to provide our customers the ability to protect sensitive production data while providing a comprehensive set of test data in support of our functional, performance and regression testing process.
Quality Control
This is part of our continuous process improvement and governance, and is a real-time metrics gathering and reporting process. This process supports refinement and further definition of changes into the life cycle process and assesses the work estimate efforts.
Entire project teams or individual resources with the following skills can be engaged:
- QA Managers
- QA Testers
- QA Engineers
- Load Runner Specialists
- Rational Experts
- QTP Experts
- Documentation Specialists
The GEM Advantage
Our Quality Assurance model does not “Process Bind” an organization in order to force quality. We believe in the philosophy that Quality Assurance is a “Quality Theme” which is adopted by each company, manager, employee, and throughout the entire SDLC. Processes are developed around this “Quality Theme” ensuring that the program is continuously developed and improved.
